Moving nut illy .Ioel wrote a song about it. Teens mortified in front of older friends who didn't have a curfew dreamed about it until they came of age. But when it came to facing moving out, knees turned to jelly. Getting pushed out of the inest for the first time brought ghastly scenes to mind. After living with parents for up to eighteen years. depending upon isomeone had become a way of life. lEven for those students with jobs. parents provided loans for those lean ,weeks in which entire paychecks were blown. There was a horrid realization that our parsimonious tendencies would have to surface in order for us to survive. Moving out, even if only to a college dorm, brought loads of responsibilities. It was a shocking revelation when we found that household items that we had taken for granted all these years had to be 'purchased. Toothpaste didn't sprout in the bathroom cabinet. And for that Imatter, can openers didn't magically appear in drawers. ' Money didn't exactly fall from the skies like manna from heaven, either. I Facing moving out loomed omin- ously before us, even though it ,seemed during that Advanced Bio- logy or calculus exam that we would never graduate. It was something that :was abstract, to be dealt with later, iafter we had finished growing up.

GOING UP? Two play- ers prepare to duke It out, for ajump ball. oY's CLUB ASKETBALL PV students ploy forfun oy's Club Basketball was a favorite past time for Patriots in their sparetime. The Parkview students who participated gave several different reasons for playing, but all agreed that fun was the main objective. Games were played on week nights at the Billy Mitchell Boy's Club. Teams consisted of area students from various high schools. Parkview students were di- vided into three teams, the Colts, Sonics and the White Owls. Senior Mike McKinnis ex- plained that he played be- cause it's more organized, more fun than street ball. Junior White Owl Bart Reznick played because it's not as serious as high school ball and practices were informal. Other reasons given for playing were that someone lacking the ability, height or speed to play varsity ball could still participate in a real league. Most teams coached them- selves, while others volun- teered a dad to run the team. I like coaching just as much as playing, stated senior Kurt Rosa who divided his time between coaching and playing with the White Owls. Some players like senior Rob Bradley and senior Scott Robertson participated in a church league while perform- ing for the White Owls and Colts respectively. I had plenty of time to play in both leagues, explained Robertson, although con- flicting schedules sometimes caused him to choose between the two. It's not varsity ball, but when the pressure is on it's all the same, was senior Colt Bart Barnett's summary of his experience as a player. eq--of if from White Owll--743 , lnstructlous QQ 2,41 arg X- - t Q ,, 128!Boy's Club BB
